I fixed this halfway on tuhopuu, so you should be able to compile on 
just fine on that tree.  Except, you have to manually build the dna 
file.  To do this, you compile until it complains about DNA.o, copy 
obj/windows/blender/maksdna/makesdna.exe to 
source/blender/makesdna/intern, cd to that dir, do ./makesdna DNA.c, gcc 
-c DNA.c, and then copy DNA.c AND DNA.o to obj/windows/blender/makesdna 
(if your still in the makesdna folder, then it's 
../../../../obj/windows/blender/makesdna)

for bf-blender, you probably have to edit BKE_bad_level_calls.h in 
source/blender/blenkernel, and change the line '#include 
"render_types.h"' to '#include 
"../render/extern/include/render_types.h"', although I'm not sure if 
that's the right number of "../" at the beginning.  there should be a 
makefile-related solution to this, but I havn't found it as yet.

And consider that a compiling bug report :)
